Paratrooper Parachute
How can I become an Australian paratrooper?
I'm joining the ADF and i want to jump out of planes. i know that the commandos do it, and the SASR. But i've heard that there are some other people who do it as well, and not only from the infantry. How would i go about becoming an airborne combat engineer? if that is even possible.
Any info would be great. i already checked out the ADF site and the only parachute related job info was SF or parachute rigger. i have no interest in being a rigger and i don't want to go SF just yet.
The Airborne Battle Group consists of quite a few parachute-trained units:
- 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment
If you want to go SF one day, this is the best place to get started - the Army's parachute infantry battalion
- A Field Battery, Royal Australian Artillery
Airborne Gunners - the most elite unit in the artillery, oldest unit in the whole Army and due to be the last to use the Hamel gun
- Engineer Troop from 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment
There's one small unit from the Combat Engineers trained to parachute. I imagine competition to get in would be high, as is the case with all parachute units
- Parachute Surgical Team
Another small unit, this time for Medics
- Signals Element from 7th Signals Regiment
Joining the Signals Corps can be a surprisingly exciting thing depending on where you go - some Sigs get to ride around the desert with the SAS
If you're definitely interested in parachuting, start your application and inform your recruiter during your first meeting. You'll have to apply as a Rifleman or a Gun Number to get into the first two jobs I mentioned - but your desired posting ascertains whether or not you can jump out of planes. Most of the parachute units in the Army are based in Holsworthy, Sydney

| | Paratrooper $103.56 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Paratroopers are soldiers trained in parachuting and generally operate as part of an airborne force. Paratroopers are used for tactical advantage as they can be inserted into the battlefield from the air, thereby allowing them to be positioned in areas not accessible by land. It is one of the three types of forced entry strategic techniques for entering a theater of war; the other two are by land and sea. This ability to enter the battle from different locations allows paratroopers to evade fortifications that are in place to prevent attack from a specific direction, and the possible use of paratroopers forces an army to spread their defenses to protect other areas which would normally be safe by virtue of the geography. Another common use for paratroopers is to establish an airhead for landing other units. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Paratrooper parachute Hangs up Just as He makes his jump
If someones parachute doesn't open, will they bounce when they hit the ground?
A coworker claims he was a paratrooper and he saw someones parachute not open and he said they bounced 50 feet because of the hard impact. This doesn' t seem physically possible to me.
Possible, I suppose, but not likely. If the skydiver was going at maximum terminal velocity (head down) at 185 miles per hour (83 m/sec) and rebounded with perfect elasticity, he would have bounced about 350 meters, or about 1150 feet. However, this is a human body hitting the ground, not a superball hitting a concrete surface, and the person would probably have been falling in an attitude that would maximize rather than minimize air resistance. He was therefore probably falling markedly slower than that maximum and the collision would have been far from elastic. I might believe ten feet or so, but fifty seems to be stretching credibility.
